Content • Achievements • Revised planning outlook • Reasons for delays • Remainingrisks
Achievements • Algorithm release 3 delivered and in test • Release 4 foreseen for last bug fixing on release 3 • PCR Matcher Broker (PBM) software Release 2 getting stable • Release 3 expected for someadditional plugins • Procedures: • Draft versions available – some issues identifiedon timings • Alignment discussions between PCR and NWE on timings are currentlyongoing • Testing infrastructure installed: • Algorithmintegrated in PBM • PMB beingintegrated in local tradingsystems • ConnectivitybetweendifferentPMBsatdifferentPXsestablished • Sanity tests are starting ( check of file formats and exchange etc…) as preparation for the 5 PX integration tests • Test scenario’s are prepared
Current Planning Outlook • Base case planning: • Handover of PMB release 2.X.X + Algorithm release 4 by end of April 2013 • Handover of PMB release 3 + Algorithm release 4 by end of May 2013 • This base case planning includes the change request for flow calculation but not the change request for LT nomination intorampingconstraints • Budget consequences are currentlyunder investigation
Reasons for delays • Difficulties to agree on final specs • Severalrequests for changes fromPXs and TSOs • Software quality issues in first releases of algorithm and PMB leading to delays in the tests and extra bug fixing work • Difficultiesinstalling local test environments
RemainingRisks • Unexpectedtesting issues in algorithm release 3 • Unexpectedtesting issues in the PMB releases 2.X.X and 3 • Change of currentlyspecified flow calculationmethodafter simulations • Overalldelay( increase in the variable projectcosts)
Membership and otherrequests • OTE requested full membership: • Preparationstarted in PCR • Discussion to startbetween PCR and OTE • LAGIE, greekmarketoperator, signedconfidentialitydeclaration for associatemembership • Otherassociatemembersalsorequesting information on costreinvoicing • CEE TSOsrequested for assessment about algorithm compatibility with CEE Important not to disturbcurrent PCR progress
